Spread the Good This Socktober

Thanks to the efforts of two Battle Ground schools, 14,610 toes (and counting) will be properly covered this fall and winter. That’s because all of the fifth graders at Amboy Middle School and the kindergartners in Michelle Anderson’s class at Pleasant Valley Primary are collecting socks to donate locally as part of “Socktober,” a national movement intended to get kids and grownups alike to help their local communities in a fun, easy way.

It’s Good for the Sole

Share Vancouver Operation Sole Mates.

Living in the Pacific Northwest means dealing with rain; some days (and months!) more than others. With the cold, wet, Pacific Northwest winter just around the corner, Share is holding its fifth annual “Operation Sole Mates” Sock Drive. They are asking for donations of new athletic socks for men and women, as well as underwear for men, women and children.

All donated socks will be distributed to clients of Share’s Outreach program, which provides services to individuals living on the streets, as well as to clients currently in shelter. “Donating socks or underwear may not seem like much, but it gives our Share Outreach staff an opportunity to reach out and help in a positive way,” says Katherine Garrett, Director of Share House and Share Outreach. The mission of Share is to lead the hungry and homeless to self-sufficiency by providing food, shelter, housing, education and compassion through the strength of our community.
